Synopsis
Based on a true story, Hiroshima-born Sadako is lively and
athletic—the star of her school's running team. And then the dizzy
spells start. Soon gravely ill with leukemia, an aftereffect of the
atom bomb that fell on her city when she was only an infant.
Recalling Japanese legend, Sadako sets to work folding paper cranes.
For the legend holds that if a sick person folds one thousand cranes,
the gods will grant her wish and make her healthy again.
